Gravity holds the planet together as a 'ball' and you on it. It also makes things fall. We can measure this so we know the force of gravity on earth and can calculate it for other planets and stars.

Why does the weightyou havechange from planet to planet?

the bigger the planet the more gravity it has, the smaller the planet the less gravity it has, so if you weigh, lets say, 5 stone here on earth, you go to Jupiter and you weigh alot more as theres more gravity pulling on you, go to mercury and you'll weigh less as theres less gravity pulling on you.


Why does your weight change from the earth to the moon?

Your weight changes from the Earth to the Moon because of the difference in gravitational pull. The Moon has weaker gravity than Earth, so you would weigh less on the Moon compared to Earth. This is because gravity is the force that pulls objects towards each other, and it varies depending on the mass of the celestial body.
